OK, Im going to try something different. I don’t mind writing down what I eat but I get bogged down figuring out how many points everything has. Looking everything up and keep the points is what is stopping me from writing things down. OK, Ill forget the points for now and just deal with what Im eating.
B - fiber one cereal w/ milk
L - lean cuisine BBQ chicken pizza
yogurt with fiber cookie
snack - 4 slices ham lunch meat
4 water bottles so far.
D - Chicken Breast, 1/2 cup brown rice, green peas
OK, I’m almost 44 - I know I’m getting old - I know things are gonna start “working differently”.
Remember when “that time of the month” was the worst time????? Well, recently my worst time is 2 weeks after “that time”. OK, that is also 2 weeks before “that time”. I read in a magazine that this time can be a hard time also because of hormonal goings on. My “time” really isn’t that big of a deal anymore but the 2 weeks after time is yuck!! I bloat!! and I’m cranky!! I’m hungry!! Its yucky! That is where I am right now.
So - I’m sure I don’t have to mention it - but I’m not gonna lose any weight this week. I really would like to get below 135 by my birthday - June 3. I would be happy happy happy! It’s not a big goal so I can probably do it - I just have to do better eating. I workout 5 times a week (at least) so that’s covered. I’ve even uped my time at the gym. I do at least 50 mins cardio everytime. Last year I just made sure I did at least 30 mins a day.
SO all that to say - This weekend I will start doing better!!
Let’s call this day 1. Since I have to play mind games with myself - OK, it’s what keeps me going. My goal is to have at least 4 days with a good point count.
Breakfast: cereal with milk - 4
Lunch: LC lunch - 4, yogurt - 1, cereal on top -.5
Dinner: Tried something new! Browned ground beef and turkey together. Someone at work said this was not bad - OK, it’s not THAT bad. Not that great but I can tell there is something different - you know?????
Anyway I just had whole wheat tortilla - 2, meat - 2, cheese - 2.
Meeting at 6:00 and then to the gym. Probably have a snack after gym. As of now I have 15.5 points and I get 20 so … ooooh what might I have for a snack later??? I guess you will have to come back later to see.
Will go to the gym tonite.
I really want to get back to losing. I only have about 5 to 8 lbs I want to lose. I lost most of my weight last summer. Now I am staying between 135 and 140. I would LOVE to stay between 130 and 135. I am 5′ 3″. I have been 130 before and (I thought) I looked on the verge of looking too bony. Im just afraid of getting back to 150 or more so I really would like to have the 130 - 135 buffer.
I am working out 5 times a week. I just need to make sure I eat good. My only problem is some nights I come home and have a glass or two of wine. That can add up. Oh well. I will do better.
I’m going to give it a go. I kept a blog here over last summer. I lost about 15 lbs then and the blogging really helped! It really helped reading others blogs as well. I can always use ideas of healthy meals and encouraging words. So here I go again.
